Demon World, the Ancestral Land of the Azure Dragon Clan, Jingfeng Abyss.

As direct descendants of the Ancestor Dragon, the Dragon Clan regards the birthplace of their ancestors as the ancestral land, and Jingfeng Abyss is where the first Azure Dragon was born.

In terms of the Dragon Clan, although the Azure Dragon Clan is not part of the Royal Family, they are still a formidable group ranking highly among the Dragon Clan.

Because the ancestral land is still in their possession.

During the Dragon Clan's prime, they held dominion over the entire Yunding, but with the Ancestor Dragon's disappearance, the decline of the Dragon Court, and the rise of the Hundred Clans, the living space of the Dragon Clan has been incessantly compressed.

Internal conflicts that existed were naturally magnified, leading to a power struggle to re-establish orthodoxy.

This power struggle, naturally, is tied to the ancestral land.

The Dragon Clan's ancestral lands scattered throughout Yunding have been breached and destroyed in several cases, like the one beneath Two Realms Pass.

Without their ancestral land, the Dragon Clan naturally lost their voice and their strength diminished greatly.

For the Dragon Clan, the ancestral land is not only their ancestors' birthplace but also holds Dragon Breath inherited from the Ancestor Dragon at birth, greatly aiding the inheritance and enhancement of the Dragon Clan's strength.

Therefore, although some Dragon Clans have not gone extinct after losing their ancestral land, it is akin to severing part of their heritage, naturally leading to a significant drop in status.

On this basis, the Golden Dragon Clan seized the opportunity to annex the ancestral lands of the Flame Dragon and Blue Dragon Clans, thus becoming the true Royal Family after the Candle Dragon.

Because the Azure Dragon Clan's ancestral land is naturally located in the Western Realm, with considerable strength preserved and the emergence of the Cang Qinglong Saint, it now ranks among the top three in the Dragon Clan.

However, after Zhiyu's identity was exposed, the Azure Dragon Clan's situation fell into unprecedented agony.

Hiding the ancestral bloodline and sending it to the Wandao Sect... Every act could be seen as a betrayal of the Dragon Clan.

Hence, in this matter, the Azure Dragon Clan found itself isolated and helpless.

Inside Jingfeng Abyss, the howling cold wind is akin to Dragon Breath, easily tearing the space apart.

But this mighty force is as if it is still within Jingfeng Abyss, and the common eye can see nothing but calm and tranquility.

Deep within the spatial rift inside the Dragon Palace, tensions ran high.

With two peak Golden Dragon Saints at his side, Zhu Tianqi leisurely played with the raging wind imbued with the Path of Space, while across from him sat an elderly woman in a blue robe.

Behind the old woman, several Dragon Saints from the Azure Dragon Clan remained silent, but their Dragon Qi was ready to erupt at any moment.

Cang Qinglong Saint kept her eyes closed, her emaciated face twitching slightly from time to time, obviously competing in Daoist skills with Zhu Tianqi in secret.

"You all..." Zhu Tianqi glanced at the few behind Cang Qinglong Saint: "I'm quite curious about one thing, don't you covet that little dragon's rich ancestral bloodline at all?"

"We would never betray Ancestor Dragon, nor harm His bloodline."

"Hehe..." Zhu Tianqi chuckled noncommittally, "Is this why you don't dwell in the Ancient Court?"

"No comment."

Seeing the resolute stance of these Dragon Saints, Zhu Tianqi snorted coldly, and the surrounding space emitted a deep, muffled explosion.

Cang Qinglong Saint also grunted at this moment, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

She slowly opened her eyes, "Back then, the only Bloodline Dragon Egg born from Ancestor Dragon was divided completely, during your reign, you gathered the Candle Dragon eggshell fragments, trying to cultivate a purer ancestral bloodline for you to devour...

Not to mention whether you revere Ancestor Dragon, haven't you devoured enough already? Aren't you sufficient for transcendence now?"

"Who doesn't want to be stronger?" Zhu Tianqi's eyes were indifferent: "But you're quite deep, back then after dividing the fragments, your daughter's pregnancy revealed the strongest ancestral aura, so I generously gave as many fragments as I could, yet...

She combined with a lowly Taotie, not to mention polluting our noble bloodline, it also impacted her pregnancy..."

Cang Qinglong Saint interrupted his words expressionlessly, "That Taotie has been executed by you, are you still not satisfied?"

"Of course not." Zhu Tianqi's voice bore a trace of anger: "Back then you said she was indeed affected by the Taotie bloodline, which unraveled the vitality of the Dragon Egg, but then?

First, under the guise of avenging your son-in-law, you scattered the Dragon Egg fragments globally, then secretly contacted Zheng Dongliu seeking protection..."

"Yes, it all sounded reasonable, but I didn't expect you dared to deceive me." Zhu Tianqi slammed the table: "The Zhiyu born from the Candle Dragon Egg Shell not only lived well but was sent by you to the Wandao Sect, Cang Qing, you've deceived me so bitterly!"

Cang Qinglong Saint wiped the blood from her mouth, still expressionless: "Back then you verified personally, the Dragon Egg meant to be born indeed lost vitality, how could I deceive you?"

"Indeed, I couldn't thwart you, so I believed until..." Zhu Tianqi sneered: "I saw a familiar figure at Two Realms Pass... Huang Ningshang, you surely recognize her, right?

If she, who hasn't died over these years with transcendence-level Time Path, indeed could hide from me, what do you think?"

Cang Qinglong Saint watched Zhu Tianqi for a long while and suddenly chuckled deeply a few times; "Having hidden it from you for so many years isn't a loss."

Hearing Cang Qing's admission, Zhu Tianqi wasn't happy at all, his face rather grew somber.

Cang Qing's words in his ears were nothing less than a mockery.

Zhu Tianqi took a deep breath, suppressing his murderous intent, he calmly continued: "So, to prevent me from dominating the world, you concocted this intrigue with Zheng Dongliu and Huang Ningshang?"
